export MONGODB_PORT="27017"
export MONGODB_BASE="kraken"

By docker

First, you need a mongodb database:

docker run --name mongodb -p 27017:27017 -d mongo:latest

Now, run the application and link it, to the mongo database:

docker run --name kraken -p 80:80 --link mongodb:mongo -v </path/to/directory/to/list>:/usr/src/app/mount -e MONGODB_HOST="mongodb" -e MONGODB_PORT="27017" -e MONGODB_BASE="kraken" -d florentindubois/kraken:stable 

then run:

docker exec -ti kraken bash
